Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that if you have significant difference between the blood pressure measures indifferent arms then you may require a physical evaluation for the same. A big difference in blood pressure measurements between your arms could be indicating a health problem like blocked arteries in your arms, kidney disease, diabetes, or heart defects which requires proper evaluation for a proper treatment. It's recommended for you to consult your physician personally and get yourself evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Pratap
